We are really pleased with the progress that continues to be made on our facility. The kitchen has counters, double sink, shelving, an island to work on, plenty of space, a fridge/freezer combo and a window to serve the learners “snack” (lunch) from. Lucia runs the kitchen with help from Paulina. She also is now making out the menu and doing the shopping. She is always on time and keeps the kitchen immaculate. What a wonderful cook we have! We are so lucky to have her.

The office is finally done and we (John, Donna and Reggie) actually have desks to sit at and work on. We have wireless internet! Uschi was kind enough to provide a file cabinet and a standing wardrobe to handle office files and supplies. The library is presently housed in the office, but will eventually be moved to its own location. The office and kitchen are housed in the same container unit but have a wall separating them.

Classrooms are running. Windows in and curtains up to separate classrooms. They are a wonderful African print. Dividers will be built to separate the classrooms, as the noise of two classrooms in a container is really overwhelming and difficult to teach with. The curtains will them be recycled to the new library location.

Progress, progress!!!!
